This comment is prompted by: http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200306/msg00052.html I have had NFC checking for RDF/XML for many months. The first announcement message was: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-rdf-interest/2002Jul/0012.html That version 1.5.0 and onwards, checked plain strings, and IRIs for NFC compliance, rejecting documents with data not in NFC (in strict mode; in default mode a warning is issued). Because of changed advice from RDF Core based on changed advice from I18N WG, the latest version (Jena2preview3) no longer checks IRIs. The relationship between this and XML 1.1 NFC checking is not direct. + The input documents are XML 1.0 (not 1.1). + These are analysed according to the RDF/XML syntax. + This generates a set of triples. + The triples are checked for NFC compliance according to the rules suggested by the RDF Core WDs. I had hoped that there would be an XML 1.1 system that did the NFC checking, according to the XML 1.1 CR rules, since then the last step is redundant. I am pretty sure that there are other implementations of RDF/XML that make similar checks. Frankly, integrating NFC with an XML parser is not hard, given public domain libraries such as icu4j. Jeremy
